Doesn't seem happy with him and can totally understand it if it's something he has told him about... wow he really goes to town on the players, style, tactics, expectations etc. He also makes perfect sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 All the time wasting does is put pressure on us at the end of a game and gives the other team more time to get back in shape. Waste of time really, needs to learn to get the ball out quickly, but that's not one of his best attributes unfortunately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s quite the interview. I came out of VP feeling gutted but thinking they gave a good account of themselves on the whole. Unai clearly disgrees but maybe that’s what will finally drag us up a level, him being furious with being plucky losers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newry_Villan Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I think he could have called to Mings to leave that cross before the weak header out. It was coming at him where he could have caught it. Poor communication from him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted February 18, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 18, 2023 this shithousing is all good fun till you see 6 minutes added on time on the board. 2/3 or 4 mins the opposition goes straight into panic mode. when you get to 5/6/7+ they're more relaxed, they can go through more patient build ups and sooner or later he's going to get himself sent off. even on a booking today he was pushing it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched the game with my Dad and was saying when Emi caught the ball and went down “injured”, “why are we time wasting here? We’re at home, level with Arsenal with a few minutes remaining. 1 point does nothing for us - we should be pushing for 3”. Emi killed the game every time the ball went to him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rolta Posted February 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2023 Villatalk goes like this. 1) who did a thing this week? 2) get hysterical and question their place in the club to an extreme. Who will it be next week? Plenty of the previous players featured in this rinse repeat system were some of our best players today. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grobs Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I like emi a lot but he wouldn’t be missed. He hasn’t made a save in the last 2 home games and we’ve conceded 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings cleared a ball that Martinez could have taken comfortably. Edited February 18, 2023 by WHY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) Being saying it for months. All he does is time waste even against shite sides when we aren't even winning or holding a 1-0 lead and all over them. Should have been nipped in the bud a long long time again. It was at a point today I was actually willing the ref to send him off. I don't pay x amount of money to watch someone take a minute to kick a ball. What happened to the 6 second rule?

mattyvilla Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Come on be honest who were urging emi forward , plenty around me were . We were going to lose the game at that point anyway if we didn't score from the corner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got caught out from the break but whatever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 He is a very good keeper but I never thought he was very good at kicking. Less than 50% successful passes. Its a problem that he gives the ball back to the opposition too often and Emery needs to address that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I think maybe, he gets himself a little too worked up against his old club. Such a silly thing to do when we still had a few minutes left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Maybe I'm wrong, but ever since Emi came back from the World Cup he doesn't seem to have his head properly in the game and appears a bit more arrogant. If that's the case it might be best for everyone if we sold him for a good fee in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just heard on a Villa podcast Emi Martinez's passing being discussed as one of our potential problems. Today as an example he had more touches of the ball than any other Villa player and only found a Villa player with 46% of those passes - so more than 1 in every 2 passes have gone to the opposition and therefore that adds to the pressure back on us. In contrast 9 other Arsenal players touched the ball more than Ramsdale and when Ramsdale did have it he was much more accurate (than Martinez) with it. If we're going to want our goalkeeper to have the ball so much then he needs to be much better with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Really pissed off with Martinez today. His distribution was absolutely abysmal, and loads of his attempted pass outs went straight into touch. Secondly, why on earth would you start time-wasting and then get booked for it with the score at 2-2? How about trying to win the game? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 He’s going to get it bad from the gaffer. In Spanish too so there will no holding back or anything lost in translation. I wonder if Unai’s a bit peeved with his Champions league comments earlier in the week too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I love Emi. Think he’s a top keeper and seems a top bloke too. But I’m starting to think he’s maybe not the sharpest tool in the box. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
